Oh, Melanie. That says so very, very much about everything. Life. The embrace, the death, the holding on. Killing the thing you need to live. This has so many angles, so much depth. So many good lessons to be learned from this. And the tree unable to save itself. The power-hungry, 1%, sucking the life out of our planet, killing it until all that will be left will be the ghosts of what once was and then, not even that will remain. And we refuse to save ourselves. So powerful…on so many levels. This is such an important poem. You said I could reblog your work so…

Melanie wrote this important poem. To me, it speaks of many things, relationships and the world in which we currently live. The greedy and rich have attached themselves to the earth and are sucking the life out of it…soon all that will be left are the ghostly images of what once was, held in place by their desperate and still greedy claws. Thank you Melanie. So very much.
